LONDON / HMS BELFAST → LONDON / HMS BELFAST

3 Nights on Star Pride

Short but incredibly sweet, this quick getaway shows off tiny Belgium’s oversized charms from medieval streets to romantic canals and mouthwatering chocolates. Board your ship in London right next to HMS Belfast (Tower Bridge), one of the most exclusive cruise ports in the world just across the Thames. We’ll cross the English Channel to Ostend, the sea port for Bruges. The whole center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and our evening departure gives you time to explore. Next, we’ll make our way up the River Scheldt to Antwerp, a yacht exclusive port. This city has its own share of historic guildhalls and churches. But it’s also replete with modern architecture, museums filled with Flemish masters and small-cozy beer cafes. Plenty to fill every hour until we head back across the Channel to London.

London, one of the world's top destinations, is a city begging to be explored. Steeped in history, the well-known sites of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square beckon, or get a modern perspective from the top of the London Eye. This cosmopolitan city offers all the world cuisines you're used to, but there are still places to find traditional British fare like bangers and mash or shepherds' pie.

Diamonds, beer, waffles, chocolate. What’s not to like? Thanks to its success at monopolizing world trade in the 16th century the city boasts beautiful architecture, from ornately designed churches and cathedrals to the stylish guild houses fronting the market square. It’s easy to see why the city attracted artists like Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens. The old medieval fortress by the river, Het Steen, opened as the new cruise terminal in 2021. The train station is also worth a look with its mix of styles, from an Art Nouveau façade to Roman columns to a contemporary steel-and-glass dome.

This tour combines a scenic coach ride with a walking exploration of Brussels. After approximately an hour's drive, you'll arrive in Brussels, a city that blends modern skyscrapers with historic charm. As the center of banking, trade, and international organizations like NATO and the European Union, Brussels has a rich history reflected in its narrow cobblestone streets. Your panoramic drive will pass the King Boudewijn Stadium, the Centenaire exhibition halls, and the iconic Atomium, built for the 1958 World Expo and representing an iron molecule. The tour continues through the city, passing the Royal Castle of Laeken, the residence of King Filip and Queen Mathilde.
